T010 whom it may concern Be it known that I, Josnnn F anna, a citizenof the United Stateslresiding at Prescott, in the county of-Pierce and State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Frames and Sashes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionofthe invention, such as Willem able others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My present invention has for its object to sash; and, to this end, it consistsof the novel devices and combinations ofdev-ices hQFQHL- after described and defined in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views. Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation ofa window frame having mounted therein upper and lower window sashes in which the 1 to at then upper ends, for sliding and pivotal movement, bylscrew threaded studs 29.," which loosely extendthrough apertures in invention is embodied;

Referring first to the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 7, inclusive, the numeral 10- indicates a window frameand the'nnmeral 11 upper and lower window sashes'thereior.

Formed in the sides of the window frame 10 in-"th e plane ofeach sash 11, is a pair of van.

tical' channels '12. Covering each channel 12 isa vertical guide plate '13 securedto the respective side of the window frame 10 by screws 14 and having a longltudlnal slot 15.

r Patented window sashes by screws 2.0. It will be noted thatthe free longitudinal edges of the outerfflanges of the rails 19 are spaced apart- 1 1 from the respective sides of the channels 18 to afl'ord clearance, for a purpose that will presently appear,

I Each window sash 11 is mounted between. a pair of auxiliary sash stiles 9.1, in the form'pf flat bars-which extend parallel to the guide plates 13, and are connected there Feb, a 1920.

PATENT, oF IcE. Y i

' considerably narrower than the channels 12 said auxiliary sash stiles and through the slots 15, Onthe inner ends of'the screwthreaded studs 22, are nuts 23 mounted in the channels 12, withfreedom for vertical sliding movement, but held by the walls thereof against turning movement. Formed with the heads of the screw-threaded studs 22," are crank arms 24,-whieh extend horizontally inward for vertical oscillatory moveinner vertical edge portions of the auxiliary Y sash'stilesfil .areflarranged to fold into the channels 17 and, together withtheflanges 16, afl'ord cooperating weatherstrips which close the joints between the auxiliary sash stiles and. window frame, when the window sashes 11 are closed. i

The outer vertical edge auxiliary sash stiles 21 are folded u on portions of the themselves to afl'ord flanges 25thatpro3ect in'the planesoftho flanges 16 and are latorally. s aced from saidi'auxiliary stiles to afford c annels 26. .These flanges 25 are, in i turn, folded outward upon themselves'toaf ford rails 27, which interlock with the rails 19,.as best shown in Fig. 6, and thereby connect the window sashes 11 t0 the auxilf m sash'stiles 21 for longitudinal sliding emovement thereon. Obviously, the interlocking rails 19 'and 27 also afford cooperatingweather strips which close the joints between the window sashes 11 and the -aux1l iary sash stiles 21, Each pair of auxiliary sashstiles 21 is intermediatel connected to the'window frame by a pair of verticall N disposed links 28, having'their upper en s pivoted at 29 to the inner faces of the flanges 25, and having their lower-ends pivotall connected at 3.0 to the-inner faces of the anges 16 and at'the lower ends thereof.

- -,When the window sashes 11 are closed, the

sashes, the

lower ends of the window sash stiles 21 to links 28fold'within the channels 17 and 26. In the drawings, the window sashes 11 are arranged to swing outward on the links 28, and, during this movement of the window ock studs 22, which act as pivots therefor, slide downward in the slots 15. To hold the window sashes 11 in open positions, the arms 24 are operated to turn the lock studs 22 in the held nuts 23, and thereby draw their heads andv said nuts toward each other, and thereby frictionally clamp the permit the'windowsashes 11 to be separated therefrom, when swung open, as shown by.

full lines in Fig. 2, by drawing the window sashes from between the pivoted ends of said auxiliary sash stiles, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 2..

. The construction shownin stantiall figures ust described,- with the exception that in place of cutting or forming the slots 15 in theiguide plates 13, said, guideplates are folded to form channels 33 which closely Fig. 8 is subfollow-the'contour'of the channels 12 andv said guide plates are contracted at the tops of their channels 33 to afford slots 34. In

this construction, the nuts forthe lock studs 22 are, annular and have formed thereon ribs 35, slidably mounted in the slots 34, and thereby hold said nuts against rotation.

In the construction shown in Fig. 9, the.

guide plates '13 have one of their longitudi nal edge portions folded thereupon toafford'channels 33, the bottoms of whichextend into channels 37 formed in the sides of the window frame 10. sash stiles 21 are pivotally and slidably connected to the guide plates 13 by horizontally disposed arms 38 pivoted at 39 to said auxiliary sash stiles and have on their ends identical with that shown. in the The auxiliary heads 40 slidably mounted in the channels 36. stiles are of substantially the same width as the outerfaces of the stiles of the window sashes 11 and are bent to form longitudinally extended ribs 41, which extend into The flanges 25 of the auxiliary sash V channels 42formed in theouteredges of the stiles of thewindow sashes 11, and slid ably connect the window sashes to said- 'ZLHXlllfll'Y sash stiles. r

Fromthe. abovedescriptiomzit is evident that 'tlie'window sashes may be swung open. 1

toanydesired extent'and when open, the.

outer faces of the window sashes. may be easily washed for the frames thereof painted.

Or, the window sashes, when 0pen,may bereadily detached from 'the auxiliary. sash;

stiles by drawing the same inward,-as shown 1 by broken lines in Fig. 2, and washed, painted or repaired. r

'WhatI claim is 7 w 1. The combination witha window frame, of a pair of auxiliary sash'stiles attached to.

the Window'frame for. compound sliding and pivotal movement, and awindow: sash carried by the auxiliary sashstiles-with free dom for. longitudinal sliding movement thereon.

2. The combination with a window frame,

of a pair of auxiliary stiles attache-d tothe window frame for compound sliding and pivotal movement, a link intermediately and pivotally connecting one of the auxiliary sash stiles to the window frame, and a win 1 Y dow sash carried by the auxiliary sash stiles with freedom for longitudinal sliding movement thereon.

3. The combination with a window frame, of a pair of auxiliary stiles attached, to'the window frame for compound sliding and pivotal movement, a link intermediately and pivotally "connecting one. of theauxiliary- .sash stiles tothe wmdowv frame, a window j sash carried by the auxiliar sash stiles with" freedom for longitudinal 'sli thereon, anda lock for securingone of the ding movement auxiliary sash stiles against sliding movement on the window frame. Y

4'. The combination with a window frame,

of apair of'auxiliary sash stiles attached to the wlndow frame for compound sliding and pivotal movement, a window sash, and cooperating interlocking rails longitudinally slidably connecting the window sash to. the auxiliarysash stiles. I i 5. The combination with a'window frame, of a pair of auxiliary sash stiles attached to the window frame for compound sliding and pivotal movement, a window sash longi tudinal slidably mounted on the auxiliary sash stiles,-and stops limiting the downward 7 sliding movement of the window sash on the auxiliary sashstiles. w

6. i The combination with a window frame, of a pair of auxiliary sash stiles attached to the window frame for compound sliding and pivotal movement, a window sash slidably mounted on the auxiliary sash stiles with'freedom for separation therefrom by an upward longitudinal movement, and

stops limiting the downward sliding movement of the window sash on the auxiliary the auxiliary sash stiles with freedom for longitudinal sliding movement thereon, and
